Matthew Fergusson closes on leader

26 Mar. The Hallfield School player edges nearer the top of the rankings after the Birmingham League Rapidplay, but Crockett still has a big lead.

Steve Crockett likely RGP winner

5 Feb. The only player to compete in five events leads. Unless new tournaments are added to the RGP his closest rivals trail by more than 5 points. He is pursued by Matthew Fergusson (Hallfield Sch, Birmingham) on 14 who overtakes Joseph Friar (Hagley, Worcs) and John Kelly (Stockport, GMC) both on 11.

Participating Events

11 Jan. The Birmingham League Rapidplay has been added. This means that players on 25 March will have a choice venues: Quinborne, Birmingham or Manchester.

A caveat about the table

Results from players whose published club affiliation is outside the MCCU, or who do not have a 2011 ECF grade are not included in this leaderboard. Please note this table is provisional because club affiliations are based on information posted on the events' websites and may need to be validated. Any player whose name has been omitted and who believes they are are eligible for the RGP, please contact the Controller.
